You look so bored with your jet set mother
Standing there at the airport
You sure came alive when your eye caught the headline
And saw the picture of the rebel queen

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Everything that went through your head
Time to step in the danger zone
And start a fire of your own

Oh, Caroline, oh, Caroline
Are you ready for the outlaw world?
Oh, Caroline, oh, Caroline
Are you ready for the outlaw world?
Caroline, oh, Caroline
Are you ready for the outlaw
Ready for the outlaw world?

You talk so low in the back street cafe
Makin' plans with your mystery man
You pour out your heart and you tell him your story
Giving yourself just to save the whole world
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Every word that passed through your lips
Time to step in the danger zone
And start a fire of your own

Repeat Chorus

This generation they want a legend
Carol is that you?
The evening news an injection
And you can be that too

Repeat Chorus

Walk the lonely highway
Neon signs light the road
Won't you help me find the right way
To a place of time and hope

Where we all get kind of mellow
And where life is not a joke
We're here today gone tomorrow
All in life is ours to own

Bridge: You are with me, I won't ask you why, you are old enough to know
I will move you, and we'll draft away, then tomorrow I will go

Chorus: Just for tonight, I will love you darlin', just for tonight

Is this cycle never ending
Or am I not meant to know
Lost in life am I pretending
Chasing winds that never blow

Yet in my life I've know many
Sharing moments as we go
Yes we've all had times so empty
That if someone asked we'd go

Bridge: I have held you, in a special way, but I won't see you again
As I leave you sorrow blinds my eyes to the things that are within

Chorus: Just for tonight, I will love you darlin, Just for tonight

As I touch you, we will say goodbye, 'cause the times has come to go
You believe me, and I want to say, I will never let you go

Chorus: Just for tonight, I will love you darlin, Just for tonight
Just for tonight, I will love you darlin, Just for tonight

Well you know it's sold out she couldn't get a ticket
Hard rocking' with rollin' on her mind
Scalpers lurking in the shadows
Double the price and have this ticket of mine

Thoughts of her are shakin'
After 13 years of concentration
She's gonna break out
On the hard rock road

Well the dressing room is lady rocks womb
"What's a nice girl like you doing here?"
She said my parents left me
And school's upset me
I've been bored for the last 12 years
Now give me some recognition
The worlds left me no position
I'm gonna break out
On the hard rock road

She just wanted to belong, wanted to belong
Now it won't be long, 'till she belongs

Come on pretty peach, move it to the music
I love your dancin' and your platform feet
Come on pretty peach, don't you ever lose it
Your second nature is so hard to beat
You got your recognition
But the world ain't a better position
Just shake it loose
On the hard rock road

Someone told me about your…
Somebody gossiped about my…
But nobody warned us about those…
Someone told a lie
Now we don't trust each other's faces
And I don't know what to think about you
'Cause we can't stand in each other's places
And I can't trade with you

We've had times together where the sparks would fly
But in stormy weather we stood side by side
Now we're cold and distant
Watching love roll by
Just when truth was needed
Someone told a lie

Some folks say I'm a sinner
Some people claim I'm a saint
But nobody knows who's the winner
The truth was told too late
Now I was raised to believe that you're different
And I was told not to play with your kind
Does anyone know why
They were so hell bent on poisoning our minds?

Now we're cold and distant
Watching love go by
Just when truth was needed
Someone told a lie
But I'll do what I have to
You do what you can
Just to keep on searching for the pride of man

All those tears we wasted wondering why
All those years were wasted fighting lies
But I'll do what I have to
You'll do what you can
Just to keep on searching for the pride of man

What's the name of your latest companion?
Do I know him, have you told him what you told me?
What's the course of your latest adventure?
Does he track you, will he back you, can he keep you free?

There is more to life than dreaming
There is more to love than makin' it
There is more to you than meets the eye

What's the state of your new situation?
Is he giving, is he willing to let you be?
What's the chance for your new true confession?
Does he make it, will he fake it, can he really see?

There is more to life than dreaming
There is more to love than makin' it
There is more to you than meets the eye

One way or another, we all lose a lover
Some live, some die, some never learn to try
One love for another's lifetime

What's the price of your passing confusion?
Have you sold out, can I hold out, can I live that long?
What's the dream in the back of you memory?
Can you say it, do you pray, has your memory gone?

There is more to life than dreaming
There is more to love than makin' it
There is more to you than meets the eye

One way or another, we all lose a lover
Some die, some live, some never learn to give
One love for another's lifetime
